Adrian Raeside has created a magical tale of adventure for pet
lovers of all ages in "The Rainbow Bridge." Using his gift for
creating spunky characters, Raeside has created a valuable fable
for anyone who cherishes the companionship of a family pet.
Seven-year-old Rick and his beloved dog Koko are inseparable.
They cavort in the swimming hole, chase each other through the
fields, play fetch and wrestle. But their relationship changes as
Koko grows old and his health declines.
With Koko's passing, Rick is devastated. But then one night, he
is woken by Buster, a flatulent but well-intentioned messenger dog,
who suddenly appears at the boy's bedside. Buster ferries Rick to a
magical paradise for pets where Rick is reunited with Koko; it
fills Rick's heart with joy. It's a place where cats burrow through
fields of catnip, no couch is off-limits to dogs and frisbees are
flung endlessly. This mysterious adventure is truly a holiday
miracle
Adrian Raeside captures the special bond between humans and
their pets, and with marvelous illustrations, brings a gentle
humour to a story that will resonate with children and pet lovers
of all ages.
Dogs are tops--35 percent of Canadian households include at least
one canine--and anyone who's been owned by one (yes, that's right)
will tell you why: we share in each other's joy and pain; they
cheer us up when we're blue; they strive to please us and are
indispensable workers, serving us even at their peril; we pamper
and play with them, train them and take them for walks (actually,
they take us); they sleep in our beds; sit on our laps; and if we
let them they will follow us to the ends of the earth. But do we
really know what they think?
This collection is for anyone who has ever wondered what
constitutes "dog breath" to a dog, the real reason why dogs hate
doggie coats, or why they replaced woolly mammoths as man's best
friend. The answer to the last question is that dogs shed
"slightly" less. But for other profound, hilarious and sometimes
poignant observations, like why dogs shouldn't open restaurants, or
what would happen if a dog actually caught a car, readers need look
no further than "Tails Don't Lie"--the best of Adrian Raeside's dog
cartoons.
